WEST PALM BEACH — A Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office corrections deputy was arrested on Thursday and charged with sexual battery on a teen, jail records show.

Robert K. Barr, 51, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail around 5 p.m. and is expected to have a bond hearing on Friday. He is charged with sexual battery by a person over 24 on a person 16 or 17 years old.

West Palm Beach Police Sgt. Dan Henry said the alleged victim was someone Barr knew and that there was more than one encounter, but would not say if the encounters were consensual.

Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Teri Barbera said Barr was assigned to the Main Detention Center on Gun Club Road and that he's worked for the Sheriff's Office since 1985.

Barr will be represented by the Law office of Salnick, Fuchs and Bertich. Michael Salnick declined to comment. Barr could not be reached.
